Today marks the third month of my study in the Certification for Teaching
Program (CTP). This is an online program for people who want to pursue study
teaching while working. First, I thought it would be easy, but it has given me a
lot of new learning experiences about how to adapt,plan, implement, and revise
instructions, not just for kids, but also for other people who seek good
instructions and learning. It's a great way for me to interact with other people
in different places in the world. Yes, in the world, because you don't have only
classmates around the Philippines (Thank you, pandemic days. You have taught us
that there is another way of modality.) But you have a chance to be with
Filipino people working and living in other countries like Vietnam, Thailand and
the Middle East. This is an initiative and great way of platform which
promulgated by Mr. Nielson De Silva, The Proprietor of Ascend Tutorial, Training
and Review Center which is located in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Ascend is committed in transforming professionals to become teacher-ready
equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills as they enter the teaching
profession. Moreover, their students are taught the progressivist way to cope
with the demands of both the third and fourth Industrial Revolution in Education
(Education 3.0 and 4.0) and they are an advocates of new way of modality of
instruction and learning especially for those who wants to pursue the passion
for teaching. Graduates who are currently working professionals can now push
their call for teaching and be involved in a changing pace of modern world
nowadays. With the help of curriculum of their partner school-the Asia
Technological School for Science and Arts, the mode of instruction is both
online and offline, where students can work on their study activities at their
own pace without attending an actual classroom. With this set up, the student
can work and finish their assigned activities and worksheets at their
convenience, without any due date, as long as they finish the task before the
end of the term. I'm so lucky that I found this option since it's my dream to
finish my studies in Education even before the pandemic. For me, who aspires to
become a teacher or a trainer someday, this would be a big help for continuous
learning and training.

Deciding to undergo this momentous event feels like I am really a worthy person. To have
this opportunity to serve my country through true education builds my compassion
more to help and enlighten the dark world of disinformation and innocents. It
was a struggle for me at first because you need to work on your assignments in
school and yet you are working at the same time. I find this good and I enjoy
it! Even if I have free time, I usually spend a little time looking at my notes
and memorizing terms. Exams are really challenging because they are in the same
format as the LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers) exam. The process is
really intensive and hard but I find it nice anyway since teaching is a no
brainer job and it requires a lot of ability to possess before you fly to the
actual demonstration of teaching. The knowledge that has been gained, the
planning and getting into the actual mode of teaching are the best qualities and
criteria that the said program provides made a good teacher. The servant for the
community of people and the society itself. One thing that I always remind
myself on why I'm here? I can be narrow, but I can also be a changer. Giving
learning is the best way to fight inequalities and misunderstanding in
society. Playing a cartoon hero or a tandang sora mode really gives me peace and
calm every time I can share knowledge with everyone. It's a call! Oh dear!
